Lead line. Ryabov O.A.

Exceptional novels about the Great Patriotic War in truth. The roar of distant breaks, the smell of gunpowder, the clang of caterpillars-the terrible signs of the war re-come to the pages of books written by the grandchildren of those who, in the distant 1945, came to Berlin.

“War, in the full sense of the word, before My eyes... In the very first days I was the witness of the death of two infantry regiments with their commanders. War is a terrible thing... especially for infantry. I live on the NP regiment and saw the assault, and now I contemplate the field covered with gray overcoats. For a long time they will still lie! ”

This book is a trench novel. But it differs from the "Lieutenant Stories" created by writers in a home, peaceful environment, years after the end of the war. This book is written in the trenches. The author used the letters of his father, who came from the front, literally processed them, added fatherly oral stories. This is a chronicle of the whole war, a true look from the trench.
